thank you all, glad to be of help. as a side note rokytnji it wasnt xmms thats been an issue, its been a problem for me installing perl modules (example bundle::xmms which allows for remote control of xmms) and such via cpan. but this is probably for another thread

naw, i gave up on xchat. why struggle with old un-maintained software. hexchat works just fine and ive got irssi as well. the original reason i wanted xchat working (and ended up compiling irssi) was to get into the freenode channel. i had no idea about hexchat at that point. im calling the issue sorted, lol
